英国新任首相鲍里斯去见女王了
Boris Johnson reportedly blurted out details of his first private meeting with the British Queen within minutes of becoming British Prime Minister. He is said to have loudly told Downing Street staff the monarch said 'I don't know why anyone would want the job' during official audience, as he entered No 10 for the first time. Revealing private discussions with the head of state is a major breach of royal protocol. Mr Johnson was warned not to speak so loudly by staff in Downing Street after noisily making the revelation. According to royal historian Hugo Vickers, the monarch uses her bag to send secret signals to her staff to indicate when she's ready to move on from a conversation. He told People magazine that shifting her bag from one hand to the other is an indication the royal is ready to end a chat, and it's been said the Queen will place her bag on a table at events to signal that she's ready to leave. A third secret signal is a discreet twist of her wedding ring, which the Queen uses to emphasise that she'd like to be moved on from a conversation quickly. For the 13th time in her 67-year reign, Queen Elizabeth II participated in the quaint-but-crucial royal ritual of the transfer of power from one U.K. prime minister to the next. Boris is the 14th prime minister of the queen's reign; Winston Churchill was already in office when the queen came to the throne in 1952. |
